What Bob Buhowski doesn't like about Baladina Mediterranean Cafe:
Atmosphere and staff were good. The chef seems to prefer making everything to the well done side. I asked for the lamb to be medium rare and it was overcooked and dry. View all feedback. What J G likes about Baladina Mediterranean Cafe:
Wow this place does it right. Delicious food in a nice environment with friendly customer service. You can't go wrong here no matter the occasion. The grape leaves and the lentil soup are favorites of mine, and everything else I've had has been superb as well. A great combination of flavors for the palette. View all feedback.

Went in and staff was super dismissive of us and uninterested. Food I guess is good, but treating people like they don't matter is another. Very unprofessional.
